I've had one of these on backorder since the end of June and would also like to know if there's an ETA for the next shipment yet. Did VFC discontinue this model or something because it seems like every other retailer and distributor has been out of them for months with no idea when they'll get more.

you guys need to keep more of these on hand at once. I wanted to buy one a couple weeks ago, and it was out of stock. then it comes back in, and my negligence to buy one immediately resulted in it going out just a few days later! Id like to have it in by Xmas, so id order it in the next few days. but i wont order till I know you guys will in fact restock it.
